Some guess work on the actual sentence yes but I do remain convinced on it being more than just petty burglary.
https://www.banksr.co.uk/images/Guidelines/Advisory Panel Advice to the Council/Domestic_burglary.pdf
"Gratuitous damage involving acts of vandalism or soiling (i.e. damage over and above that necessary to commit an offence) is rare but causes greater harm to the victim(s), as well as indicating particularly high culpability"
I could guess that he actually stalked the people he targeted aswell before burglarizing....
I will try and shut up about it though...and wait a week
